My group of 9 friends all stayed here. It's beautiful, spacious and has everything you need. It's clean and homely. Don't hestitate staying here. Great price as well. It's not too much of a walk from the Marazion bus stop, which'll take you to Penzance trainstation. There's also room for 2 cars in the drive. Also, go out at night to look at the stars. Really close to the beach as well. Deposit returned very fast.

We stayed at the lovely Gwen cottages over Xmas with the whole family and had an amazing time. The owner really looked after us ensuring basic supplies for the all-important tea and coffee were there, Christmas decorations in the cottage, and even posted us some children toys that were mistakenly left behind. Superb location, a short walk to the beach and Marazion village, amazing views across the bay from the up and downstairs balcony. The cottage is web equipped for summer and winter (BBQ), table tennis, kids slide in a large garden and is spacious and cosy. Thank-you Gareth!

We stayed in the main house at Gwern Cottages for one week, and we were very sorry to leave this beautiful place. We were two families travelling together, with three boys aged 10, 13 and 16. The house is excellent, with large rooms, all the facilities you need, a large garden, and even mint leaves in the garden for your Pimm's... What more can you ask for? After a week on a canal boat the boys loved the spacious room in the attic, and specially the Wi-Fi. The adults had lazy breakfasts on the veranda, and we all loved the bats flying around in the garden at dusk. A great place to stay, and a house with a good atmosphere.

This was our third stay at Gwern, and once again it proved to be a great place to stay. The accommodation is comfortable from the word go, and, although we are yet to enjoy the balcony and deck area to its full potential due to the weather (we have so far stayed "out of season") the garden area is a great space. On this visit we noticed improvements have been made to the garden from a privacy and general appearance perspective. The location is great - under a 10 minute walk to the beach, it is a no through road so traffic is minimal and it is very difficult not to just switch off and relax. The bedrooms are very flexible and there are all sorts of permutations possible.The parking is a big plus in this location.

We had a couple of questions on arrival (which was late due to the distance we had to travel) that were answered immediately, and the cottage was spick and span. Have we booked for a return visit? Yes we have.

Tips~:~ the buses are frequent and a good way to get into Penzance if you don't want to drive or walk. We have also found the taxis to be very reliable and good value for late returns. The pasties from Philps are a must . The staff at the Godolphin Arms are really friendly and dogs are very welcome there. The walk to Penzance is level along the beach and takes about 45 to 60 minutes depending on how fast you walk.

We are a large family ages range from 2 to 59. Gwern gave us everything and more that we could have wished for in a holiday home. Great accomadation, plenty of space, modern facilities, safe enclosed garden, no traffic to speak of, very easy walking distance to beach and St. Michael's Mount. Brilliant.
